5-step admission process

Before applying, we would like to ask you to please read our admission requirements carefully. If you are not sure whether you meet the criteria, please take the first step in the application process by completing the CV Quick Scan. The admissions team will respond to your CV Quick Scan within 3 working days and inform you about your eligibility and further instructions on how to apply.

Additionally, we require 2 professional references from a current or former manager, supervisor, client or senior colleague. In the online form, you will be asked to provide their names and contact details, and they will receive access to submit their forms separately.

After submitting your application, you will be directed to the ABS Assessment step. This step consists of 3 short video questions and 1 (short) written question. You will have 2 minutes per video to record your answer and 5 minutes to formulate your written answer. Completing this step takes about 30 minutes.

After receiving your responses from the ABS Assessment and positive outcome from reviewing your full application file, the following step is the admission interview. Interviews are scheduled on campus or via Skype or FaceTime. Interviews take 30-40 minutes and are conducted by an admissions board member who has reviewed your application files. The interview will focus on your skill set, motivation and professional goals.

Within 10 working days after the interview, the admissions board decides on your admission to the Executive MSc in International Finance (MIF) programme.

We are looking forward to reviewing your application and hopefully inviting you to join the class starting in September.
